“A book for intelligent readers. William Hearth’s perspective pioneers an entirely new way of viewing Mary Magdalene and the ORMUS phenomena. Provocative and scandalous. Be prepared for a great deal of controversy and outrage. It isn’t just another watered-down poke at Mary Magdalene. The information spans several thousands of years leading up to the period of the birth of Mary Magdalene, the Jesus movement and the early beginnings of the ORMUS phenomena. Looks like a lot of historical, academic and speculative research went into the preparation for the book. The ORMUS aspect was intriguing. I was fascinated at the prospect of Mary Magdalene having been an alchemist and high-priestess of the Temple of Hathor.”

Did Mary Magdalene act as wife to the man whom we today incorrectly refer to as Jesus the Christ and was she a mentor to Judas Iscariot (of the Sicarii); Moreover, was Judas Iscariot actually the most devoted, loyal and trusted disciple of Jesus?

Was Mary Magdalene a well-respected leader among the early Jesus movement: Was she THE Migdal-Eder i.e. “Tower of the Flock”? Was she one of THE principal Leaders? If there was no Catholic Church during their lifetime, then why would Mary Magdalene and Judas Iscariot (Sicarii) have been considered heretics and by whom?

Did Judas really betray Jesus and Mary, or did Saul (Paul) of Tarsus and other detractors of Mary Magdalene, frame Judas Iscariot and deceive Peter?

Did Saul (Paul) of Tarsus (and later, his following) wage a campaign of terror and character assassination against Mary Magdalene and Judas Iscariot (Sicarii) and their descendents, Read more of this post

ORMUS ~ The Secret Alchemy of Mary Magdalene Revealed Part [A] is a collection of excerpts from the foundational research supporting the greatly anticipated novel from newly acclaimed author William Hearth.

Focusing on events that lead up to the advent of the Jesus Movement in the Levant, Hearth’s upcoming historical romance promises to be both highly entertaining and informative. The points of view, although drawn from timelines commonly accepted in orthodox religious circles, present a new and refreshing set of possibilities and hope for a generation born into a world filled with pollution, concerns of human injustice, endangered species and a world on the brink of complete environmental meltdown.

Heart makes the point that History is contrived at best. And Mary Magdalene’s history was not immune to corruption, as it has also been rewritten, time and again, to suit the whims and private agendas of countless despot rulers, both during her lifetime as well as centuries after her tenure in the Levant. Even today authors offer unruly and absurd assumptions concerning her history and person.

In honor of Mary Magdalene and her constituency’s attempt to spread the message of ahimsa, William Hearth has completed a 40 Day vegan juice fast. In preparation for attempting a 120~366 day micro-nutrient and ocean-water fast, Hearth attempts to prove that humans can live lightly on this planet, while remaining healthy and virulent even when they have past the age of 50. William Hearth is on day 42 [Oct 15, 2010] of a VEGAN juice fast (eating only plant-based liquids).

“My Goal you ask? My goal is to help people to understand that environmental activism began over 2,000 years ago, and not during our 20th century generation, as many are inclined to believe,” say William Hearth, author of ORMUS ~ The Secret Alchemy of Mary Magdalene Revealed, “The Jesus Movement, including Mary Magdalene and her constituents’ message, bespoke a world in which the Way of Peace, or ahimsa, would be the norm, rather than the exception. Deforestation began thousands of year ago, with the building of countless fortresses, war-ships, and other tools of war, most of which were used to destroy neighboring cultures and civilizations.”

Hearth goes on to say that, “People consume much more than they actually need and continue to waste resources needlessly on a daily basis, minute by minute.”

“Without a fundamental change in the way we live our lives on a day to day basis, there is little chance of the human race surviving into the 22nd Century, let alone into the year 2050.”

“It has been correctly observed that ‘shopping is a political act” and I would now like to point out that ‘eating is a political act’ in a very real and tangible sense…”
